Our task today was focusing on our planet and oceans and how we can help to protect the environment. The pupils then talked about what we could do before creating a boat that can help clean waste and plastic out of the ocean.
Exploring coding and types of movement using Sphero’s.

Using the tomb discovery lesson on Minecraft, we explored Howard Carter so covering the tomb of Tutankhamun. We looked at at how the tomb was found, what was inside and the announcement of the discovery.
For our art lesson we focused on out topic to create lots of different Egyptian silhouettes.
We created a model of the Sun and the Moon to show how the moon moves in front of the sun to create a Solar Eclipse.
To understand how the Earth and Moon orbit we created an animation to demonstrate this. The quality of animation was excellent and all the pupils clearly showed how the Earth orbits the Sun and how the Moon orbits the Earth.
We have started work on our new topic - Space and beyond. We have looked at the different planets and how we travel into space. We created model space shuttles that show the different parts needed to help the shuttle take off such as the fuel tank and boosters.
To start our new topic - Winter Wonderland, we explored all about the North Pole and then had to create a landmark that the pupils felt was suitable to represent it.
To finish our topic of Fairytales, each pupil planned and designed their own fairytale story. They designed characters, setting and a story plot. They then made this into an animation to show off their very creative ideas.
We used GarageBand to look at how we can use a range of instruments to compose a song related to fairytales.
Today was our first Irish lesson with LSC4. The pupils enjoyed the introduction lesson and look forward to expanding their Irish vocabulary in future lessons.
Coding was the focus of our ICT and World Around Us lesson today. We used Scratch to understand block coding. We had to select two characters and make them interact with each other using different coding blocks. This is the first lesson which will lead pupils to creating their own Fairytale scene using coding.
We have started working on our new topic - Fairytale. Today pupils were given a basic description of a fairytale setting and they had to use their imagination to create it using Minecraft. When building the setting the pupils had to add more creativity into the setting. See the finished Fairytale settings below.
